Despite already having qualified, Germany surprised everyone by fielding their strongest squad against Switzerland. All 11 players who started in the previous wins over Scotland and Hungary were present.

Thanks to that, the home team created pressure and almost opened the score in the 17th minute. From a very long distance, Andrich unexpectedly shot without giving goalkeeper Yann Sommer a chance to block. However, the referee denied this goal after consulting VAR because he determined that Musiala had committed a foul in the previous situation.

Shortly after, the German team received a cold shower from Switzerland. In the 28th minute, Freuler escaped down the left wing and crossed low. Dan Ndoye swooped in to tap the ball in from close range to open the scoring.

With the goal, Switzerland played more defensively and waited for their opportunity. They blocked almost every space, not giving Germany many opportunities.

The second half was not much different. Switzerland remained focused. Their counter-attacks even caused problems for Germany. Switzerland almost increased the gap when Vargas beat goalkeeper Manuel Neuer in a one-on-one situation. However, the striker was caught offside.

It was not until the 90+2 minute that the home team got an equalizer. From Raum's cross, Fullkrug headed in from close range to help Germany draw 1-1.

At the same time, the match between Hungary and Scotland was also very dramatic and tense. Having to win to keep their hopes of advancing alive, both teams played an open game but missed many opportunities. It was not until the 10th minute of extra time that Hungary finally won 1-0 thanks to a goal by Kevin Csoboth.

With these results, Germany and Switzerland share the top two positions in Group A to secure tickets to the next round. Hungary is in third place so they have to wait for the results of the remaining groups. Meanwhile, Scotland has officially stopped.
